Needle Arthroscopic Inspection and Treatment of (Osteo)chondral Lesions of the Ankle in Unstable Syndesmotic Injuries Treated With Suture Button Fixation: A Standardized Approach.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Both acute and chronic syndesmotic injuries are associated with (osteo)chondral lesions of the ankle in at least 1 out of 5 patients. Having a common denominator of an acute traumatic injury being external rotation and forced dorsiflexion, the injury of a combined unstable syndesmotic injury and a potentially present concomitant (osteo)chondral lesion to the ankle warrants a thorough diagnostic and interventional approach. Furthermore, early diagnosis may prevent further damage to the joint through lifestyle changes and increase the chances of successful conservative or surgical treatment, potentially reducing the progression toward end-stage osteoarthritis. Consequently, technological advances and financial considerations have led to the development of a minimally invasive needle arthroscopic inspection and treatment of concomitant (osteo)chondral injuries of the ankle in the combined treatment of unstable syndesmotic injuries with suture button fixation. The present Technical Note describes this innovative minimally invasive assessment and concomitant treatment technique.
